    I have seen a few cooler threads on here and feel like we ought to make one where everyone can post what they use and what they like and don't (I searched and didn't find one like this).

    I'll start.

    This is my Bison Brute 75qt cooler. Bought it about 5-6 years ago. It's been in 25 states and has probably traveled 15k miles with us, at least.

    Likes:
    -American made (TX based)
    -Tough
    -Works as advertised, only had to add ice once on its longest trip (10+ days through New England a few years ago)
    -Has nice accessories - non skid feet, rope grab handles, divider that doubles as a cutting board, metal shelf for dry goods, etc.
    -I can sit my big ass on it.

    Dislikes:
    -Heavy (not sure if heavier than average rotomolded cooler).
    -Pretty pricey, on par with Yeti (but I don't care, cause it's a better company).
    -A little taller than I would like.
    -The shelf is a little loose and kept falling into the cooler. I cut a piece of wood to force the sides against the cooler to keep it in place.

    This company has great customer service, too. I also bought a soft cooler of theirs. It started leaking a few months after I bought it. I emailed them, told them what happened, and they shipped me a new bag cooler at no charge and just told me to keep the old one.

    If you're interested in a rotomolded cooler, check them out. They're soft coolers are good too. I have the 12 can soft cooler. I've used it for fishing, flying, a big lunch box, etc, and it's still going strong.

    Let's see yours!

    Edit to add - the 75qt Bison is $70 less than the 75qt Yeti, so I wanted to correct the above post. Not cheap, but not Yeti price either.
